By 2027, nearly all new homes in England may be required to have solar panels, as part of a mandate by Prime Minister Keir Starmer aimed at decarbonizing England's grid by 2030. This initiative aligns with plans to build 1.5 million new homes. In contrast, the U.S. is moving away from clean energy policies under the Trump administration, signaling a divide in approaches to renewable energy. Meanwhile, 2024 marked a record year for solar energy globally, with the U.K.'s solar capacity increasing and renewables accounting for a significant portion of energy production, although experts call for accelerated deployment to meet future targets.
By 2027, nearly every new home in England might be required to include solar panels as part of the U.K.'s goal to decarbonize its grid.
The U.K. plans to enforce solar panel installation on new homes as it seeks to build 1.5 million new properties while reducing emissions.
In 2024, solar energy installations surged worldwide, comprising 81% of all new renewable energy capacity, highlighting a global trend towards cleaner energy.
Experts warn that the U.K. needs to significantly ramp up solar deployment rates to meet its ambitious 2030 decarbonization targets for energy.
